always find employment. He has always
roof to shelter him aud his, and food and
raiment for both: For every farmer can
make, with reasonable care and industry
a supply Of everything he and his family
need for food, except sugar and coffee
After home supplies for man or beast
which every farmer can and should mako
there comes his money crop.
For the farmer in the South that mopev
crop is, and for an indefinite time it must
be, cotton. We, of course, except locali-
ties like that contiguous to our Magic
City, We say it is and must DO cotton.
And spite Of all that has been said and
written derogatory to our great staple, it
is the best and surcst.. monoy crop iutha
world. Either in the form in which il
comes from the farm or as manufactured
goods, we send our cotton to every part of
the globe. Tho demand for it is uuiycr-
sal, constant, Unsuitable. Compare cotton
with the staple money crops of the North.
Tako wheat, for instance. Two acres of
fair average land yield thirty bushels of
wheat. Two acres of like land in the
South yield one bale of cotton. The cot
ton weighs $50 pounds, tho wheat 1900
pounds, or fourtimes as much. Still the cot
ton will bring considerably moro at its ul-
| nj inn than fhn
Discrimination and competition may mod
ify the economic law, but the law itself
is automatic. That is tho best crop
which comprises tho greatest value in the
least bulk and weight.
Moreover, considerable per cent of
the mineral constituents of the soil is cx-
ported in the wheat, and to preserve its
average fertility, the farmer must replace
these by the use of, bought fertilizers.
Cotton exported takes nothing from the
soil, and to preserve its average fertility,
it is only necessary that the farmer restore
to the soil the seed taken from it-either
the raw seed or tho droppings of animals
fed on it.
Again, England aud the Continent grow
wheat-some Of the European nations rails
Ing large quantities for export. India,
Australia and British Columbia have be-
come formidable competitors Of our wheat
growing regions, aud new folds are being
opened up every year. Years may CONC
when the flush supply of wheat abroad
will reduce the price go low as to stop its
expectation from our country. But the
expectation of cotton will never be stopped.
As a producer Of the cotton the world
wants, the South has no rival on the globe
and never will have.
In presenting the merits of our great
staple as money crop, We would aot dis
suade Southern farmers in favored locali-
tics from producing other things instead
of cotton for market. Dairying; garden
ing, Embarrassing, and the growth and fat
tening of beeves, sheep and hogs for the
butcher, are, in many places, far more
profitable than the raising Of cotton. But,
except in such places, cotton is our best
money crop, and for tho reasons We have
stated, the best money crop in the world

BENNINGTON LIQUOR RAIDs.--Fol
once, at least, in the recent history OF
Bennington, rum is not in the ascen-
dency. Some two or three months
ago, friends of temperance and good
government formed Law and Order
League. After its organization they
quietly and without the sounding of
drums and trumpets, notified the vio-
lators of the liquor law that if they
would then and there cease their lille
gal traffic they should be granted i'm
munity for all past offences. A few
who were not welded to theil profess
sion adopted the wise course and
cleaned their saloons out and quit the
business. Others, and not few, con-
tinued to sell, although with a great
deal of caution, and as they supposed,
discretion. The events OF the last
few weeks have discovered how dis
Greet they were, for like an ayenging
angel the league have begun their
promised prosecutions, it seems, with
out fear or favor for any. First,
slim" Fitzgerald was convicted OF
1875 offences, fined 1880 and costs.
He appealed his case and is enjoying
his liberty under $500 bonds. The
next one to come to Judgment was
tom" Stewart, brother of one ''Rob'
Stewart, who has figured conspicuous
ly in public print in Rutland, who was
found guilty of 81 offences and fined
500 and costs. 1t is thought Stew
art will not be able to pay his fines or
get bail to appeal his case and will
have to labor for the State at Rutland.
The proprietor of the Stark House, z.
Towne, was next asked to settle for
100 offences and contribute $1,000
toward a fractured law. This case
was continued until Thursday, March
"a. There seems TO be no favoritism
shown in the prosecutions, and no
spirit of persecution has developed,
therefore the movement is getting the
support of the whole of the better
part of the COMMUNICATIVE Press.

A Proclamation by the Governor.

In accordance with the venerated
custom of New England it becomes
the custom of this State to humbly
confess their transgressions and short
comings to Almighty God, and in hui
mility acknowledge their dependence
upon Him.
Therefore, L, Ebenezer ]. Orms.
bee, Governor of the State of Yer
mont, do hereby appoint Friday, the
eighth day of April next, as a day
of fasting, humiliation and prayer
Let us on that day cease from our ac-
customed lahors, refrain from improp-
err amusements and meet in the ap-
pointed places of worship and there
join in fitting and appropriate relig-
ious exercises. | recommend that al
such exercises, and at our homes, we
make special acknowledgement of our
dependence upon the Divine Provi-
dence and devoutly pray to God for a
continuance of His many blessings
and mercies. Especially let US earn
estly supplicate that the scourge of
intemrerance may be stayed and that
otherwise happy and prosperous land
may be relieved from that widespread
and terrible curse; and may we not
only so pray but so live that our pre-
cept and example may be in accord
ance with such prayer.
Given under my hand and the sea
of the State in the executive chamber
at Brandon this 18th day of March,
A. D. 1887, and of the independence
of the United States the one hundred

session early in October.

At the Directors meeting of the
St. J. & L. G. railroad, held at ST.
Johnsbury Thursday, W. A. Stowel
was chosen Superintendent. He having
been elected Secretary and Treasurer
a short time before it had not occur
red to the multitude thath he was avail
able for the Office of Superintendent.
1t is unnecessary to say that he is
well qualified for the place. He is a
born railroad man and popular of
fetal in all respects. We do not I'M
derstand that Mr.. Blossoms name was
brought forward for the Office, but that
he remains as assistant as heretofore.
He certainly has reason to feel graft
fed at the many good words spoken
for him along the line.

consistent with excellence throughout.
